Cry out to God that the new covenant would be fulfilled in your life so that there's reality inside and it's not like a big heavy yoke it's a light yoke and an easy

What is it about the new covenant that makes it better than the old covenant? In this episode of Light and Truth, John Piper turns to Hebrews 8, 6 to 13 to explain the unique features

and that you would do what the text is about, that you would not merely inform our minds about this text, but that you would perform our minds about this text, but that you would perform this text in our minds.

The new covenant is that your will would be written not on stone, but on soft hearts.

And thus bring from the inside out delight and obedience.

Lord, none of us likes to be told what to do.

But I ask for your help now to speak this truth

and trust that your word is loved by your Holy spirit who inspired it and will make it the means of the

transformation indeed perhaps for some the salvation in this moment.

In Jesus, in name I pray, amen.

If all you've got is God sending Christ as the reality and he puts him forth glorious
